looked to me like the take away was that the rule was 50 years old. would you have been happier if the context didn't mention nixon, but noted that it was because of a law that had been in effect for 50 years?
- SilverBirch 4y agoI would’ve been more comfortable if they’d mentioned the current republican candidatss for house and senate oppose this rise despite it being a GOP policy?
- pastacacioepepe 4y agoYou keep repeating they would abolish this inflation adjustment mechanism, but where's the source? Less claims, more evidence.
- SilverBirch 4y agoI mean... do you want me to google "Republican social security plan" for you. It's not really controversial that they want to cut it.
- pastacacioepepe 4y agoI can only find opinion pieces and no official republican statement promising they would cut social benefits. In any case I believe those are empty electoral promises. In my country the right wing campaigned on the promise of cutting social benefits, now that they are ruling they simply can't do it unless they want a rebellion. That's because we are in such a bad situation since we blindly followed the orders of our master Biden. The US is also in a bad place after the delusional democrat foreign policy, the last thing the republicans could do now is cut social benefits at a time where quality of life standards are dropping for everyone. Again, thanks to the bankrupt policies of your governments.
- Forgeties79 4y agoMultiple republicans have said they will not support raising the debt ceiling unless Medicare/social security receive cuts. Smith and Arrington I think? Pretty sure I was reading about them and other members of the house vocalizing this just a few weeks ago.
- t-3 4y agoIt's user-supplied commentary, so can't you just add that info you want it there?
- SilverBirch 4y agoThis is exactly the point I'm making - it's basically down to whoever can game the system to get their politicla point annotated on to the white house despite not having earned the following of the whitehouse themselves.
- t-3 4y agoI don't really get what you're upset about. The algorithm seems pretty sane to me. If the Whitehouse wants to hold a press briefing, they can, but when they post on social media they invite engagement.
